I’m thinking about doing a very minimal setup of a nanoKontrol and a Launchpad (or push when it comes out) and routing Ableton to Traktor, but I’ll admit I don’t want people to look at me like I’m a noob for DJing with such ‘low’ quality equipment. I’ve used CDJs, I currently use a VCI-380 with Serato Video for Top 40 gigs but I want to have something minimal like the nanoKontrol/launchpad w/ traktor for when I play shows.
A minimal setup is very hot these days.
There are many techies and dj’s out there doing crazy stuff with basic setups.
It’s about how you feel a setup should be. If it works for you, great.
Believe me, some have expensive controllers, but just use the basic stuff.
In the controller world there is no standard I hope.
It’s about how you get the most music out of your DJ Kit.
Routing Ableton to Traktor is serious enough not to make fun off.
I rather see someone tripping on a Casio than frozen behind a state of the art Pioneer setup.
